I wonder what you think about PrimeDice allowing to gamble with other currencies? I would totally find it cool if they would allow us to gamble with Ethereum for example. I know I can just use Shapeshift or so, but it would be cool if it would work directly on the PrimeDice site. What is your opinion?

Bitsler supports three crytocurrencies, DOGE, LTC, and BTC. If primedice allows people to gamble using other crytocurrencies, that would be cool also. ;)

I think it's best if primedice sticks to one currency, bitcoin. It is where they were known and besides primedice is still the most popular dice game on the internet. I think its nice if they stick up with their originality and to not copy others that ha different currencies.

I suppose that allowing gambling with other cryptocurrencies would add a bit more flavor and traffic to the site (or perhaps not) but there isn't too much demand for that. Besides, other altcoins could be much more volatile than bitcoin and cause some issues. Even if Primedice doesn't accept other crypto-currencies, there are always other sites. Primedice is purely a dice game, and you can find that pretty much everywhere.

I think Primedice do not need to add some types of coins so far they've been popular and one of the best sites on the Internet related dice bitcoin
Other sites provide a deposit and play using some crypto with the aim of attracting users to play on their site while Primedice do not need to do that because the gamblers already liked primedice.

No, I don't think they will ever would.

yes, i would personally love to see this happen.
the only reason why i was looking for another dice site was because i wanted to make bets with a cheaper altcoin , something like dogecoin for example is so good for this matter.

Fortune Jack Casino is supporting Doge and they have Dice, you can play there if you want.
But with all honesty, I what is your reasoning behind - I want to play with 'cheaper' altcoin? If you want to bet less, then bet less! It is not that you have to go high with BTC or something.

And no, I don't think PrimeDice needs altcoins acceptance.

Yeah, Maybe, Primedice can allow gambling using another cryptocurrency, And better if you give a suggestion in their official topics and so primedice know and consider with your suggestion.

In my opinion, the safest choice is to add Litecoin if they decided to add another cryptocurrency.  LTC has good volume and liquidity across the board in 4 - 5 exchanges, so there's no problem there in selling LTC.  Its price vs fiat is also somewhat predictable and almost follows that of BTC, and that's a good thing.  So almost no hedging required just to prevent losses when the market for crypto becomes really active.  All you have to worry about are prices in fiat.

I see some people are suggesting ETH.  The volume and liquidity are good, but I think it's way too early for sites to accept it.  I say wait for a year or two and see what happens.

i don't know if they "should" allow gambling with altcoins, because they are having pretty good amount of bets and as a business that is all they care about.
but i certainly hope they add some other altcoins but with the same rules because i see some of these dice sites adding an altcoin but restrict the minimum bet amount to something big like 0.001 which doesn't make any difference.

There running good now for focusing bitcoin as their main betting coin in their site and theirs no need really for accepting altcoin it can bother other gambler and it needs upgrade for a day,  and i really think they will need to add games not an alt so the players have options to play if there getting bored in dice and good they have bingo for now.

Well, but seriously what's the point? Primedice is probably already generating enough profit with bitcoin gambling alone and I doubt that if they add additional altcoins there will be much of a change in volume.

Also you can use shapeshift to convert from altcoin to bitcoin yourself.....

It will be great to have another alt coin to play, but i prefer primedice is only using bitcoin, it will be more efficient and faster to play
If there is an alt coin, the primedice developer need to convert again, then the player database will be added so it will make the site become slower

i agree about the first part, they are generating enough profit and they are busy with their system enough that i doubt if they change how things work just to add a new altcoin.

but about the second thing you said i have to say that it is not about the conversion, everybody knows hot to exchange altcoin to bitcoin. people usually want to keep the altcoin and maybe bet with it to multiply that altcoin. and not pay fees for exchange twice in the process.

You can gamble with 8 cryptocurrencies on https://www.crypto-games.net
Besides playing with bitcoin you can also do it with ethereum, litecoin, dogecoin, dash, peercoin, gridcoin and gamecredits ;)

Why would they do it, when they have enough btc players. Implementing new altcoin would make vsite slower, and its a big question will they make some big profit from it.
Primedice offer simply and easy, safe and fast way of playing dice game. I doubt they will change this winning combination.

I also think no need to add any other crypto currency there because it have so many players who love to play with btc than it need to do this, it is going nice with its current system and no need to change this one there.

adding new altcoins to their dice game can become a little bit messy. but also at the same time I think adding them is worth the time and effort it takes to add them.

because right now I think they are missing out on a somewhat big part of the gambling dice by not having those options. people are looking at other dice sites like crypto-games for making bets with their altcoins.

anyways I hope they add this additional option too. I would certainly love to see that.

If you only want to gamble with ethereum, simply go onto Crypto-games. They have a wide range of games and they accept ethereum as payment method as well. You could also try Yobit if you want to gamble with other altcoins.

Pretty sure this has already been suggested before, and declined.

Yeah i think yes primedice should allow to play with crypto currencies and it can integrate shapeshift.io for this purpose because some other popular dice sites are using this system and it doing nice job for them, i am pretty sure it would be helpful for it to generate more revenue.

I think they need not to start using other cryptocurrencies as bitcoin is doing well.To be honest I have been in gambling with bitcoin for 2 years now.I never felt need or tried any other digital currencies so far.Primedice is doing well and Bitcoin is sufficient and they should not complicate things.This is my opinion and input in this discussion.

I also think Primedice should allow to use other crypto currencies for deposit purpose like betking and rollin using 3rd party exchange system for this and it is good option to get more players to play there.

They don't want to be an ordinary dice site , many botcoin casino start accepting another coins and it is not extraordinary when primedice want be different.

Also by adding altcoin it make them have to hire additional management to manage these altcoin, a little bit complicated.  They won't do this.

Thanks for all the suggestions  :)

From what I know Bitcoin is generating the most revenue. Altcoins usually are just a distraction. It is common if you have some altcoin then there is 99% likelihood that you are bitcoin user too.
But from the other hand Bitcoin users are not always have other altcoins at their disposal. Also it is hard to pick serious altcoin - most of them is short lived.

Its totally distruction for them and they are good on focusing bitcoin because theyre running smoothly for now and those altcoin can cause them some delays knowing alt coins for todays is not very good since most of them die easily inshort instance and other have low value thats why they dont really need to adopt altcoins for now.

Thats really the best thing to do stick on what they are. They dont need to allow other crypto to generate user as they are the most popular dice site.

I think it's a goo idea for Primedice. Other dice sites have this option, allowed other crptocurrencies and so far is good though. If primedice accept other cryptocurrencies, i think it will be good for primedice.

The other currencies don't bring much benefit however. Besides the faster transaction times and lower withdraw fees, there are no benefits.

The alt coins usually lose value quicker than BTC. I think a better approach would be to keep it in FIAT instead.

If they want to allow other cyptocurrencies, they would do so. I think as of now Primedice will focus on bitcoin, as they are known as one of the biggest bitcoin gambling sites. Their site does have a lot of users even without other cryptocurrencies.

yeah i know about other places to play with altcoins, crypto-games does this too.

and what i mean bu "I want to play with 'cheaper' altcoin" is that i mean i want to be able to play with 1 litecoin while being able to make the same amount of bet for example starting with 1 litoshi not like other places that they force you to play with litecoin and bet for example as small as 0.001

Whether they make a profit or not but as of now other cryptocurrencies are not doing that great compared to bitcoins. Because primedice turnover per annum is very huge so they will always look for easiest currency to exchange into fiat to take their profits. Still we all need real money to buy many things, and bitcoins are easy to exchange.

hell yes.
its whole new market and we all know extra income is good for every gambling site.

No need.

More currencies, more mess for admins and developers to take care of.

Bitcoin is enough for everything. If you don't have bitcoin and got alternative currencies, just convert them.

Exactly, and see how Ethereum has a new ATH :)

The only other crypto we'd consider is Ethereum, and we've certainly discussed adding it. This isn't in the pipeline at this moment but it's on our mind. Right now our focus is finalizing and releasing the new version of the site which is in testing.

Bitcoin is fine for me :D

yeahh of course,,but i guees with adding altcoin there it will be gratz also at least giving a choice for gambler where him want to try with another coin :D just my opinion

Why only ethereum stunna? Is it because their strong power of Microsoft partnership?

I can not see other reason people talking high expectations about ethereum , the price is not too interesting ,etc . Litecoin are better and older too than ethereum for me hmmm?

Any site that wants to help make more transfers with crypto currency I support. Any stimulation for all coins is good and will allow them to grow and stay around longer.

I don't think it would be a good idea. They are the leading Bitcoin gambling site, so they don't want to break this brand and just become a crypto gambling site. Bitcoin is king of crypto and if you are the best already in the business, you don't want to deal with the problem of multiple tokens.

I think I am in support of adding new coins and currencies to primedice as adding new coins will make me bet accordingly, for example we can bet with dogecoins then I would feel much better because they are much lesser value than btc :) . I mean easy to make strategies at least for me ;)

Aye. I'm in favor of my favorite gambling wallet to accept my shitbits! Now I can make back those losses I picked up from Dogecoin a while back, huehuehue.

I don't think you guys understand the mental stress of having to deal with multiple currencies. Currencies that a lot of time are scams and end up making users bankrupt, currencies with software that is faulty and sometimes even has malware on it, currencies that end up dead and the blockchain wouldn't sync.. this translates into angry customers.

It's better to accept the big currency only and save yourself problems.

I love primedice as it is now and adding new coin like ethereum will it get more users and the chat will get almost impossible to talk at. Please I urge primedice to make no more changes, its best as it is.

i think it would never happen and i personally don't want it and i think this is could be the characteristic from primedice the dice sites who accept bitcoin and although they only accept 1 cryptocurrency but they are still the most popular currently

True but adding more coins would not disturb you bitcoin gambling at all. Primedice is a smooth and easy to use website and will be the same I believes once more and more coins are integrated. I think adding new coins will just give rise to more gamblers using primedice.

WOW that is what actually make me love primedice because you guys even though running the most popular bitcoin dice site still are encouraged to make new versions. Anyways my vote is yes add ethereum please.

no i dont think so i think in present time the bitcoin is enough. i think now the bitcoin is becoming popular and they should not create the confusion. i think the simplist way is to accept the bicoin only.

I think using altcoins would be good but that would make the site look more bogus and un-easy for big gamblers. Primedice mainly has biggest bitcoin gamblers and hence they want the sharks ( big gamblers ) to feel easy.

But do you think that expand their market on crypto will make them even more success then today? I think that is not a wrong move to do. Make a good vision on the future will good moreover if the price is on top and it will always be traded because people keep on using it on gambling

The more the merrier !! I think they should but I don't think they will. They so big already and things are going just great as they are. There is no need to fiddle.

Possibly, but PrimeDice doesn't need to improve their site at the moment, so there's no need to add altcoins. They are doing fine going bitcoin only and they are the largest gambling site, so I don't think they need to put in the work to accept altcoins. Also, PrimeDice might not find altcoins appealing due to the sheer number of them and how they aren't worth very much compared to bitcoin.

theyre doing good with bitcoins and i dont think adding another crypro currencies would be necessary since pd running smoothly and for focusing bitcoin is the wiser choice for them because bitcoin is the only stable coin among other existed there and the value of other alt are decreasing thats why adding alts is not really good.

If you want to gamble using a alt coin for a known dice site theres always the option of just-dice.

Although if they do decide to adopt like how just-dice, I can imagine their choice would be ether? since it already has crazy price value.

The dice sites can take any cryptocurrency and convert them to tokens for playing and again convert them back to currency when withdrawing. This way a site can support many coins without causing any lag on the game.

they always need to improve if they want to stay relevant. otherwise they will lose their share of the market .

also primedice recently has announced they are going to make some changes and everybody is super excited about it.

I haven't heard about this new PD's announcement. I am gonna check their thread to learn some more now. I hope it is not about adding additional altcoins to the pool.
Especially now when Ethereum has been compromised by hackers.

I don't think it matter about PrimeDice's coding abilities, they are perfectly capable of creating whatever is necessary to accept altcoins. I think it's more of not being necessary to PrimeDice, as altcoins can become a pain sometimes, with their fluctuating prices and how many there are.

Yes I agree with this. If it was essential then they would of done it a long time ago. But in reality it doesn't make a difference in what currency you are gambling with since your odds don't change.

If prices of altcoins are fluctuating and that is a problem then bitcoin is king of stability then. With price spikes of more than $300 in one day.
It is not about fluctuation, as PD or any other casino don't care about this. It is more a waste of time and effort to introduce something new for less than 1% of your userbase.
